More Walking

Feb 9, 2023

Did some more walking around Brisbane. I went to the second hostel today. I also had a delicious noodle soup for lunch.

There's lots of bridges that cross the river. It's a nice city to wander around. Everything feels dense and nearby.

 

Stay Positive

Feb 8, 2023

    I am in Brisbane again today. I’m at the hostel. 

    Tonight is my last night. I’m going to a different hostel in Brisbane tomorrow for one night, and then I think I’m gonna go to Mooloolaba for a week. It’s cheaper there and will be a good place for me to kinda figure things out. 

    It’s definitely a different type of existence right now. Mainly just because of the money. I’m trying not to think about it too much, but I need to be able to make money while I’m travelling for this to work. 

    I keep reminding myself to think positive thoughts. Thoughts about abundance. I’m trying to stay in a positive state. I realize now that these things actually really matter. 

    

    I really wanna keep travelling the whole world. I want to be comfortable in terms of having money to travel and having accommodations where I feel safe and comfortable. 

    I want to have a purpose. I want to travel the world doing my art. I want to share it with everyone. 

New Day

  Feb 7, 2023

    Today is my first morning in a hostel. It’s the first time I’ve ever been completely independent. It feels cool. Slightly stressful, just because I don’t want to run out of money. I wanna make enough money from busking to continue doing this for a while. One day I won’t even have to stay in hostels. I’ll be staying in something even fancier. 

I’m in Brisbane. Pablo and Yoga were driving to Brisbane yesterday so they gave me a ride. They dropped me off just outside the city. I took the bus and arrived at my hostel at about 6:30 pm. I checked in and then went for a walk with my camera. The sun was just setting so I got some nice photos and videos. 

In a couple hours I’m going to buy a 16mm lens from someone off Facebook Marketplace. My photos and videos are gonna look amazing with that. I wanna do some busking during the day today. I’m really curious to see how much money I can make. 

    Now it’s started. The pressure in the head will only build. Not painful pressure- exciting pressure. It’s building up to something amazing. Full of love and light and potential. Everything racing all at once, swirling around like a tornado. It’s gonna burst at the seams. All that was wanted will come to pass and everyone will feel it.The towers will crumble in a matter of seconds. The old will disintegrate. The whole thing will take less than and hour. Even after the sun has risen there will still be souls moving through the ether, looking for love. Some will find it. Others will search for a long time. All will eventually return to source and merge with the infinite. This is guaranteed for all. 

Starting My Trip

Feb 6, 2023

I started my solo trip in Australia last Monday. 

I woke up and heard banging at my bedroom door. Yoga and Pablo said it was time for me to leave. They’d already packed my bags.

We got in the car and drove south. They dropped me off in the middle of nowhere.

They said ‘good luck’, and drove away.

I had no idea where or who I was anymore. I wandered around until I found a bus station.

I managed to make my way into the city.

I found a beautiful hostel and booked myself for three nights. I was given a room with two other travellers.

After I’d finished crying I went for a walk around the city. 

I took some photos from my first evening all on my lonesome. 

The Power of Oprah

 Jan 20, 2023

    I have had dreams of dogs and of hogs. I have fought men with sticks and I’ve put dogs to sleep. I’ve had to end their life on earth. I had no choice. That dog was gonna get some kids face between its jaws. I was doing a service to this world. 

    I wonder why there is such resistance right before joy? I know what I should do. I know it’s good for me and that it will bring joy. So why is there a resistance?  I’m starting to realize that different parts of ‘me’ are always interacting with each other. There’s the body and the mind, among many other things. But I get the feeling what I’m describing is coming from the body. I guess the body is concerned with staying in a certain state. The idea of a struggle or effort is not so appealing to it? I dun know.

    But everything will work out. It always has. You’re on a rock filled with oxygen! That’s great news! You’ve got love and food and water and air and gravity. You’ve also got joy in the form of music! What a blessing! 

    Thank you thank you thank you! I have one wish. I wish to be served a tray of golden fries. I would just love some French fries right about now.

    You don’t need this, my child.

    I know what I need. Don’t you tell me what I need. 

    Fine. You’ve got it you chimp.

    Thank yeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

    His miracle was evident in the dew. I saw it sparkle before the world. I saw the suns light up the morning and turn the night into a memory. That was so poetic that I think I just came in my pants. 
I want you to let go of all your chickens and surrender your prize. Lets see what you’ve got under that dress. I would like to fuck all that you own. Let’s just be clear about two things. Let’s say that I’ve been watching you in the river. Let’s just imagine that. Let’s imagine that I have watched you bathe like a little goat. You get so fucking wet and then you shiver all the way home! How come you never brought a towel? Are you stupid? 

    Well, forget it. I just wanted to suggest the idea that I would be the one to offer you a towel. What about this for an idea? Next time you go for a swim, just walk over to the bush and close your eyes. I will stick my cock out of the bush, and hanging on the tip of that cock will be a pink towel. It’s jut for you. How do you like that? You take that towel, dry that cold ass of yours and then head home. I will be waiting in the bush for seven years, trying my best to know the truth. 

    “That was the sickest thing I ever read. I can’t believe you would write something so vile. In all your talent and wisdom, that’s how you choose to express yourself?” She asks

    “I’m sorry that you feel this! But you’ve agreed to everything you’re feeling!” I respond. “You’re creating all that you are!”

    “Oh hell no,” said Oprah. “You did this. You are the one making me suffer. I want to hear you say sorry.”

    “I am sorry,” I smile with infinite compassion. “Are you healed now?” 

    Oprah sniffs the air. She laughs and licks her lips. “I’m a healed being! I have known love only twice in my life! Take me to your ship and let me be your captain! I will sail us to victory!” She roars with a fierce conviction. She started running around the house ripping up the drapes in ecstasy. 

Cruising The Current

 Jan 17, 2023

    His father is on the railing. He’s perched there, just about to jump. A craft approaches through the clouds. It opens up a great cyclone of energy. All the colours of the ocean are sucked up into a vortex. The man watches from the ship, his mouth wide open. Then the sun breaks through the clouds and all is very clearly a play. Everything is like toys on a child’s floor. It was always just like a rehearsal. The man can see this so clearly. He laughs but is so startled at the same time. It takes a moment to absorb what he’s seeing.

    In me is energy. I can feel it moving upwards. It is quite strong and quite familiar. It is very exiting. I feel so grateful and excited. I’m very optimistic. I’m learning how to remove my mind and just observe. The mind collapses everything down into a fixed place. When I get into the same state as automatic writing, I can be present and aware but completely out of the way. I’m still there but I’m not controlling or interpreting anymore. I’m just observing and moving with the current. 

A Cosmic Nudge

 Jan 14, 2023

    I did some more busking today! It’s great! I get payed more than minimum wage! And I’m practising and learning and talking to all sorts of people! It’s such an interesting way to interact with people. They’re immediately happy to see me once they realize I’m playing music. And I’m really enjoying the way some of the girls are starting to look at me too! 

    So yah that all happened to Kai. He was going out there and really doing some good work. He was making progress in realizing his full potential. It sorted slow and awkward.But he stayed positive and it got to be very fun. It will get bigger and bigger and grow into something unique and fun. It’s a good path for him. It will help with his spirituality and self-discovery as well, just because of the parts of his body that he is activating in order to play his music. It really does use all different parts of the body that are generally left untouched. It’s also very good for him because he is receiving such positive vibrations from all the people who smile at him and are happy to hear him. This has a profound effect on his energy body. He is receiving lots and lots of powerful energy at this time. He is growing and he’s on the right track! 
    

    The UFO's are all around you. There are so many different types of beings in this universe. Not just UFO’s in the sky. There are things in the room with you. Things that don’t really have a shape or occupy any space. There are things the size of a grain of sand. There is just so much. Keep raising your vibration and all of this will be revealed to you. Nothing is being kept from you. You are absolutely invited to the party. We are eagerly awaiting you. You just have to raise your frequency. It’s a slow and gradual process, like the growing of a tree or the body of a child. It takes time- years even. It’s natural and part of the process. This doesn’t mean that moments of joy won’t come along the way. They will. Don’t get into the idea that things won’t become exciting until you’ve finally made open and consistent contact. Joy can be experienced all along the way, at every point along the path. Just know that you embarked on a long and noble path that takes you through many experiences and perspectives. You have been travelling so long that it would blow your mind if you knew just how long you’ve been travelling, growing, experiencing the universe. It’s all good. You’re doing just fine. You will get there. There is no question about that. Everyone will. That is 110% certain. 
 

A Crazy Surprise

 Jan 12, 2023

    I sit here getting upset about all the dumb things supposedly smart people say. 
It feels like so many of their conclusions lie on the a foundation that they see as permanent. I want them to say every time they open their mouth that everything they’re about to say may be only part of the story. 
But it’s natural. Humans are exactly where they need to be. That’s the funny part. There’s no point in fighting or complaining about it. It’s part of our evolution to go through this phase. We will come out. Everything will be ok. It’s actually a privilege to get to live here at a time when so much ignorance is the norm. It’ so interesting to watch it all.

    It can be hard to remember to keep that in perspective. 

    I am excited to be a great performer. I would really like to be totally comfortable playing my guitar and singing. I wanna look and feel totally relaxed. It will be such an interesting life. It will be like having a key to the world. It will take me anywhere and everywhere. 

    I really can’t wait to have a website. That’s gonna be the glue that holds it all together. Everything in one place! Everything safe! Everything free for all to see! No subscriptions or ads. 
The moon is big and on the other side are tons of beings. It’s just another landmass. Just like at one time North America was a ‘new world’ from the perspective of the Europeans. In time we will see the whole solar system the way we see our planet. We will have maps of the solar system, not just of the earth. Our idea of the ‘world’ will grow larger and larger. And just like the Europeans who found people already living in North America, we too will find a seemingly endless amount of intelligent life right here in our solar system. All around us. And just like how Europeans turned out to be genetically related to the people they found, we too will find that we are genetically related to the other beings in our solar system. 

    The biggest surprise might be in finding that there were whole populations of beings living right beneath our feet. Within the earth live many, many conscious, intelligent, and loving beings. 

Observing Something

 Jan 11, 2023

    Hope is not forgotten easily. It keeps coming back. I don’t know what anything is. I just don’t know where I am. I feel a body. An awareness watches everything. But I can never find the awareness. I can’t identify it. It’s like I only know, see, feel, hear, think what I’m not. 

    And then comes the voice. It’s like it wants me to stop asking these questions. It basically says that there’s no big answer. That it’s all just random. It’s all basically an accident. You’re just a chimp. There is no point to anything.

    But then I remember the UFO’s. I remember how shattering that was to my idea of reality. It changed everything for me. I felt like I couldn’t trust anything after that. What else had I been lied to about? And why couldn’t the so-called experts of our society see it? They’re in the position of being the ‘knowers’ and yet they couldn’t see something that was so obvious? I felt weird trusting anything else they said after that. I just couldn’t understand why they didn’t see it. It was so obvious. It was right there. 

    There’s an anger. I observe it. I don’t want to fight it. I don’t want to be its slave. I will let it be. I will observe it. When it becomes strong it takes over my whole body and I tighten up. Then I’m suffering. I’m the first victim of my anger. 

    There’s so much to do. But why? There’s a fight between wanting to prove myself, and wanting to be rid of the self. 

    Now I’m blocked. It’s when I start to think that I need to say important stuff. That’s when it stops flowing and I get real critical. It’s not good. But everything is natural. Everything. 

    I want to live a life where I’m fulfilled. Starting the habit is the hardest part, but once it’s a habit than it’s so easy. It’s so easy for me to wake up and start meditating. It’s just habit. It used to be so easy to run every morning. I didn’t even have to think about it. Now I need to form the habit of writing every day. I need to also form the habit of performing music every day. I want to get to where I look totally natural and relaxed doing it. It’s just coming out of me. I’m not there anymore. It’s just the sound, and I’m not getting in the way. Like how it was working behind the counter at the Fox. It got to be this dance. I could do it with my eyes closed. And then customers would sometimes say they liked watching me work. That it was almost hypnotizing. I want to get to that place with performing music. 

    I also really want to have a website. God do I want that. My own spot on the Internet with just my things. No comments or likes or anything like that. I want to be able to create and post without ever having to worry about what people think. It’s just an internet diary basically. 

A Lovely Little Dream

 Jan 10, 2023

    I’m all alone in a body. I was thinking that for the longest time. Then I guess something changed. I don’t know what but its so interesting. I saw that controlling is strange. It immediately begins a chain reaction. It can be dangerous.

    I’ve really been trynna think what I want. On one level I don’t want anything. I just want to sit here and feel the present moment, because I’m starting to understand just how much there is to feel and observe. There’s just more and more and more. And I realize that everything I buy or anything I do kinda adds to the distractions. I’m sure I can get to a place where I’m so rooted in the present that these things can’t distract me. It’s just that I feel funny when I start to think about what I want. I almost feel guilty, like I’m not aloud to dream. 

    I boiled it down to two things. 

    I want to know the truth.

    I want to travel the world playing my music for people. 

    I realize both those things are more like paths. They don’t really have a final destination, which is ok. They’re more like a lifestyle, I guess. 

    I want to know the big questions. I want to be so rooted in the present moment. I want to understand my mind. I want to know who I am and why I’m here. I want to know why anything is here. That confuses me sometimes. It seems strange that anything should be here. But I don’t want to just read a book or follow a teaching and have my questions answered that way. I want to know on a deeper level. On an experiential level. I don’t want to just read about water and understand it intellectually. I want to drink it. Water is just an example. I don’t want to have to believe in things. I also want to be totally content with where I’m at. I don’t want to feel that because I don’t know everything, I’m therefore lacking. I realize that I can feel totally content exactly where I am. And I want to sink deeper into that as well. I don’t want to chase these questions, hoping that they will relieve some dissatisfaction with the present moment. 

    I really want to travel the planet sharing my music and my writing and my photos. I don’t know why. I just feel like it’s something I’m meant to do. I want to have my own website, though. I don’t want to have to be tied to anyone else’s app or platform. I also want to have enough money. I want to be comfortable that way. I want to be totally free and comfortable financially. I have this vision of having a blog where I can post my writing, my photos and all the music I make. I see myself playing music on the streets in New York, in Paris, in Tokyo, in Rio. And then I see myself going for lunch and meditating in a park. And then I see myself going to a recording studio! And then writing about all that and putting it in the blog! The writing, the photos from the day, the music I played and recorded! I wanna be travelling around the world like that! Free! Like a bird. I can feel that feeling of freedom in my gut. That excitement. I feel myself being so grateful and pleased with myself for choosing that path. I want to be doing it because it’s fun and uncertain. 

In The Beginning

 Jan 3, 2023

    Magical slippers flew onto my feet and then made me run inside of the tunnels until I got hit by  a train. I started to float up from my lifeless body. I floated through the tunnel walls, through the floor, up through an apartment building room by room, and then up above the Tokyo skyline. I went high into the sky, floating slowly through fluffy white clouds when everything started turning a warm shade of violet. A hum became audible. Everything became brighter and brighter. The hum became really noticeable, until everything was just violet light and deep humming. I wasn’t really there anymore, although I was aware of the light and the sound. I somehow felt like it was me, or I was it. I wasn’t thinking about anything else. We were just very aware and still and calm. 

Eating The Bug

    Dec 4, 2022

    Have you ever seen a poodle without a nose? I have- it’s horrific. It’ll make you weep in agony. It’ll hurt your stomach. Don’t think I’m exaggerating. I aint. There aint nothing worse. Trust your gut and go get your teeth checked out. I promise you that you’ve got a big cavity up yo ass.

    Turn on the light and radiate energy away from you. This will attract wombats. They will scurry over with a fiery determination. They will beg to be saved. You will be their master. A whole army of wombats will be yours! 
Just get with the program and beat up some kids. That’s how you’re gonna make a difference in this world. You know I speak the truth. Just lean on me when you’re feeling low and chubby. It is ok.
Have you tried talking to yourself? You know that not all those voices are you, right? You’re tuned into a whole array of conscious beings. They’re just hanging out, living life like ye and me. It’s no big deal really. I mean, it’s pretty cool if you never knew. But it gets to just be ordinary after a while. This will be so normal in society. It will be common knowledge. The people who take care and teach us will not be the people that are doing so now. A few will still be there, but most of the caregivers are just giving advice and stuff that is missing the big picture. There’s so much more to reality that they think is all made up. And all that still needs to be taken into consideration when healing or consoling a person. It’s a funny world you live in right now. It will be very different one day. You will look back and see this time as similar to the stone age. It will just be amazing to you that a whole society could still function considering that so many aspects of reality are considered made up. Life can be much easier and more exciting. It doesn’t always have to be an uphill battle. It’s like your whole planet is pushing AGAINST the current, as opposed to going with the flow. Everything will be ok, ultimately.
This day was one of many revelations. I woke up bright and early to the sound of Pablo reciting his favourite Scottish poetry. I crawled out of bed to be closer. Yoga was already prostrated at Pablo’s feet, basking in his Devine presence.
After that we ate our breakfast and headed into town. We set up our Taco stand. There was a market that day. 
I noticed a lady playin’ guitar and singin’ the blues. She was inspiring. I felt whole and ready to eat some lunch. I went over to Jorge and asked for a Taco. Reluctantly, he agreed. He cooked me a fantastic dish. I sat in the shade and enjoyed my feast. 
A little later Pablo began to moan. Yoga asked him what was wrong. He said that he was feeling lost and lonely. We tried to console him but he wouldn’t listen. He ripped off his apron and grabbed his long board. He rode down the hill, howling in pain. 
Later on we went home. That was where we found Pablo. He was in a hammock reading a book. I ran over and held him in relief. I thought I’d lost that Mexican. 
Suddenly I heard Yoga and Jorge screaming. I ran over and found them staring at a bush. They’d found a large bug. Jorge began salivating. He reached out to snatch the beast but Yoga threw herself in front of the bug to save his life. I was impressed. Pablo and I saluted her bravery. 
After that we went for a walk. We went to the beach. We found some Australians there. They were trying to windsurf. We howled in laughter as they fell into the sea. 
Then we came across a great big cannon. Pablo became excited. His personality vanished in the blink in the eye. Suddenly, he believed he was a soldier in the Korean War. He began barking orders at us. We watched in horror. We finally managed to calm him down. 
We went back to the house. We found another big bug on the car! Jorge begged Yoga to let him eat it. Yoga finally agreed. Jorge baked that bug and we had a wonderful feast that night. We slept like babies! 

Living Like A Mexican

 Dec 3, 2022

    This week was so eventful!! So many amazing things happened!! A few people had their hearts broken and a few people even met their makers along the way!!
I’ll mention a few of my favourite moments.

    One day we were working at Holy Taco. We were making curry by accident and so Pablo came in and told us off. Then we made the proper tacos. I asked him where he’d been all day. He leaned in close. He explained that he’d been searching for toilet paper. He showed me his treasure. It was a beautiful package of the softest paper! We both became overjoyed. 

    There was one day where Pablo kicked me right in the shin! I was hurtin’ real bad. He pointed and mocked me.

    We drove home afterwards. We passed a beautiful beach and saw the Australians enjoying the sun.

    When we got to the house we found Yoga there waiting for us. She was excited. She said that our new beds had arrived. She led us to the garage. Pablo became wild with love when he saw his new cot. He bolted forwards and took a lovely nap. I followed close behind and climbed on top. Yoga let us sleep for a couple hours. 

    Once we were asleep Pablo and I both left our bodies and floated up towards the ceiling. We vibrated alongside one another for a little while. It felt nice. Then we merged and dreamt together. 

    We saw a house with a double rainbow. Then a flash of light erupted from above and suddenly we were surrounded by flames. Then we dreamt that we were at the beach. We saw something in the water that felt important. I can’t remember what it was, but it was like it had been waiting a long time. We both pointed in wonder. Then we dreamt that we were in an a dark box. We couldn’t find our way out. After some time we pushed on the ceiling and realized that we were in a rubbish bin for some reason. 

    After a while Yoga came and slapped us awake. Apparently we’d been humming high frequency tones in our sleep. We rose and enjoyed some dinner. 

    Another day we sold some Tacos in the market. It was a good day. 

    Another time I found out that in Australia they call flip-flops ‘thongs’. I found that interesting.

    Another time I came home and found Yoga crouched behind the bed, deep in self-inquiry. I announced that I was in the room. She rose slowly and stood still for a little while. She said she’d made an incredible breakthrough into the truth of who she really is!

    Turn on all the time. I saw her standing there. She was glowing like a planet on fire. It made me so excited. I wanted to douse her in water so that she could be mine. I wanted to have her. There was something so primitive in the whole thing. I don’t even know where she comes from, or who she is. But she affects me like no other. It’s amazing. It just totally rewires my brain. I feel different and everything suddenly seems sooooo exciting. I just wanna know who she is and where she comes from. And why she does that to me. Why am I so affected? 

Pizza Day

Nov 27, 2022

On this day I woke up from a heavenly sleep. I did some reading. I’m currently reading a beautiful book called ‘Evil Wives’. It’s opened my mind in a great way. 

    
After that I went to the bathroom. I found a baby gecko on the wall. He told me he was lost. I told him how to get back outside. 

    Later on I went to Holy Taco and had some lunch. I can’t remember most of the afternoon. I was so stuffed that I must’ve slept on the grass.

    That evening we became hungry. We drove for many hours searching for pizza. We finally found a Dominos. We ordered six boxes. Pablo was so excited to start eating. He was giggling quietly. Even Yoga was becoming giddy. She was twitching in anticipation. 

    We found a table outside Holy Taco and ate our feast. Our friend Jorge was there as well. He loved his food. He couldn’t stop laughing with love. 

    After that we fell asleep for a few hours. When we awoke we drove home and went to sleep. 

I Want A Blog!

 Nov 25, 2022
    

    I’m so fucking confused. What am I supposed to do. How the fuck do I start. I want a blog. I want it to be multi-media. So there would be photos and writing and video and music. And I want it to click. To flow. To be easy. For people to see and feel. And I want some sort of structure so I can just do it and not be so fucking stressed about maintaining a following and all the stupid lame marketing shit. I don’t want to do any of that again. I hate that soooo much. It's so cringy. The stuff I put up is the stuff. I don’t want to do any stupid fucking posts like ‘go check out my page!’ I hate that shit. It’s so lame. 

Music Day

 Nov 24, 2022

    
On this day the sun sparkled through the glass and turned our house into a glittery dance club. I looked up from my pillow and saw Pablo and Yoga dancing like two prophets in love. Their eyes were locked as they danced in reverence of the great eternal fire. I clapped my hands in rhythm with their waltz. I grabbed my guitar and strummed a beautiful melody. 

    
Pablo was feeling inspired after our ritual. He said he wanted to buy musical equipment. He wanted to build a stage for Holy Taco, where we could perform our soulful songs. 

    So he and I piled into the van and drove to the music store. The man behind the counter greeted us. We asked him for help. He nodded his head and led us to the amplifiers. Then he handed me a guitar. He asked me to sing. So I sat on the floor of the store and played a melodious song for the employees. They clapped in rhythm. Pablo took off his shirt and started doing a waltz.

    After that we drove into town. Pablo dropped me off at a cafe. I had a beautiful coffee. A little later I went to Holy Taco for lunch. I was served a delicious taco. It tasted so good. 

    
I took my plate to Pablo once I’d finished. I found Pablo under the sink with his arms around his legs, rocking back and forth. I asked what was wrong. He said he needed some sugar, and quick. So I carried him to the van and we drove to the grocery store. Pablo jumped out his window and sprinted to the entrance. He grabbed a Kit-Kat off the shelf and devoured it whole.

    
After that we went back into town. There was a market that evening. Holy Taco had their own stand. I wasn’t working and so I walked around and bought some of the competitors food. Pablo and Yoga wept in horror when they saw me supporting the other businesses.

    
I ate my food on the grass and watched the sunset. It was pretty. Then I went home and slept. 

Getting Lost

 Nov 23, 2022

    This was a brutal day for me. I woke up as usual. Yoga pranced over to me. She told me she had to leave. She said that Pablo had already left. I asked her what about me? She shook her head and said ‘no’. I realized that I was on my own once again. 

    I wanted to go to a cafe. I wanted somewhere with wi-fi, because there wasn’t any at the house. Yoga let me use her data before she left. I connected to her hotspot with my phone. I took screenshots of the route I needed to walk. Then she left me. 

    So I started my journey. The sun was beating down on me. I’d never felt such heat. I walked and walked. I came to a highway. I looked at my screenshots. I didn’t understand what I was looking at. I had to guess which direction to walk. I decided to flip a coin. Heads would be straight and tails would be left. It landed on tails. 

    I walked for a while. I didn’t know where I was. I knew that I needed to walk towards the ocean. I looked around but I couldn’t see the coast line. I just kept walking and walking. 
After about an hour and a half I noticed a familiar intersection approaching. It looked like a highway. My heart sank. I realized it was the same highway where I’d flipped a coin. I’d somehow walked in a giant circle. I started screaming in anger. 

    So I just started walking down a random road. I had no hope left. Eventually I remembered that I had a compass on my phone. I started using that, since I knew the ocean had to be east. 

    I eventually came to a beautiful cemetery. I sat there for a while and rested. All the spirits were very friendly. I connected with them for a little while and then kept going. 

    After about 7 hours of wandering I finally found the beach. I sat against a wall and fell asleep for a little while. Then I suddenly woke up when I remembered that I had to get to work. I stood up and started walking to Holy Taco. 

The Ass-Man

 Nov 22, 2022

    On this day we awoke at the crack of dawn. Pablo said we had to go to the grocery store. We piled into the van and drove into town. Pablo was driving like a mad man. He was screaming out his window at all the Australians. I asked Pablo what the rush was. He wouldn’t look me in the eye. He was sweating like he was on fire. 

    We pulled into the Woolworth’s parking lot. It’s one of the big grocery stores in Australia. Pablo slammed his door and marched into the store. I followed close behind. He went to the bakery section and grabbed some cookies and coffee.

    We sat in the van and ate our feast. Pablo was laughing like a merry sailor now. He was so joyous. He had fat tears in his eyes.

    After that Pablo dropped me off at some park. I sat on a bench and watched the sky. I was beginning to feel hungry. I started walking towards Holy Taco. 

    Along the way I saw a lady standing on a ledge. She was 3 floors up. I thought that she was gonna jump. She looked like she was hiding. 

    I kept walking and came across a beautiful poster. It said that ‘Steve Irwin Day’ was fast approaching. He is still loved and missed by the Australians. He is their proudest son. 
I finally got to Holy Taco and ate some delicious food. Pablo came over to my table. He asked how I liked his food. I said I loved it. He wept in gratitude. Then he asked if I wanted to see his favourite beach. I said sure. 

    So we got in the van and went for a drive. We arrived at a beautiful beach. We sat for a while and stared into the distance. It was pretty. 

    On the drive back we saw something truly supernatural. It was Pablo who spotted the miracle. An Australian man was riding his bike, but his shorts weren’t pulled up properly. We had an astonishing view of his ass. Pablo was so moved that he decided to turn the car around. He wanted to have a second look. He ordered me to film the miracle. 

    After that we went to Holy Taco. It was time for dinner. There was no food left so we had to eat mangos. There was no clean cutlery so we had to share a large ladle. There were no seats anywhere so I had to wedge my body into a corner for protection and comfort. I was rudely photographed as I enjoyed my supper. 

    After that we went home and slept like babies. 

The Pain Begins

 Nov 21, 2022

    On this day I woke up, stretched my legs and stood up. I went and found Pablo and Yoga. They were in the closet practising deep introspection of the self. I clapped my hands and told them that I was awake. They rose and made my breakfast. 

    Pablo approached me. He said he was having problems with the van. He asked if I knew anything about mechanics. I said no. He said to go tinker around anyways and see if I could make any progress. 
So I went to the van. I inspected the engine. I poked around and tightened a few bolts. I found a bottle of yellow fluid and wondered if it might help. I poured some into a tube. I turned the ignition and the engine roared to life! 

    After that we went to look at batteries. It was fascinating. 

    After that we went to the taco shop. I ate their famous ‘Caloundra Taco’. It was so good. 
We suddenly remembered that today was mine and Yoga’s graduation! Yoga was graduating from Nursing while I was graduating with a Masters in Economics. We piled into the van and drove to the university. 
Yoga and I were given the graduation robes to wear. Pablo took some beautiful photos of us. 

    We were given our diplomas. Pablo started to get impatient with all the sitting. He began to unbutton his shirt. He started to sweat a lot and nearly fainted. I had to fan him down and pour cold water on his chest. 
The school gave us lots of food. I had a coke. It was nasty and so I had to throw it out. 

    Afterwards we walked back to the van. As we were walking we saw two kangaroos eating some grass! Pablo started screaming with joy. He hollered like an excited man. He unbuttoned his shirt in ecstasy. 
After that we went home. Yoga asked that I clean her house for her. I protested and threatened to move out. She begged me to stay. I finally complied once she agreed to invite some more Mexican friends to help us. We worked all through the night. 

    At one point Pablo began to complain about his vision. He said he couldn’t see straight. We noticed that his hair was getting long. One of the girls offered to give him a trim. I sat and watched and played some music on the guitar. 

    After about eight hours of physical labour Pablo surprised me with a delicious feast. He’d chopped some banana and strawberry and put it in cereal. We ate our dinner.
After that we went to sleep.  

First Day

 Nov 20, 2022

    I woke up from a beautiful sleep. Pablo was gone. He’d left very early to open the taco stand. He’d only had a couple hours of sleep. I got out of bed and saw Yoga! She came running over. We hugged and talked for a bit. She said that I had to get ready because we needed to go to the taco stand. So we went downstairs and got in the car. Unfortunately the car wouldn’t start because the batteries had died. We called an Uber.

    When we got to the market we found Pablo and Jorge. They gave me some free tacos. It was so delicious. The market was just ending, and so they were starting to take everything apart. I stood by and watched them work. Pablo asked if I could give them a hand but I kindly refused. I said that I’d had a long flight the day before.

    So after that we went to the beach. We took some boogie boards. There were lots of Australians swimming in the waves. Compared to Bali, the water was freezing. Compared to Canada I guess it was pretty warm. We played in the waves for a little while. Eventually I got too cold and sat on the sand. Yoga came over and sat next to me. She asked what I wanted out of my trip in Australia. I told her I just wanted some new experiences and to meet cool people and continue playing guitar and maybe even make contact with an extra-dimensional civilization. She said that sounded cool. 

    After that we went to the grocery store. I saw that they were selling Kangaroo meat. I begged Yoga and Pablo to buy it for me. They said no, because they’re both vegetarian. 

    We went to Dominos and got pizza. We bought about five boxes to share. We took our feast to the beach. As soon as the car was parked, Pablo bolted from his seat and ran over to the water. He said he’d been holding his pee since that morning. He had a nice long pee into the waves. 

    We looked at the enormous clouds as we enjoyed our dinner. The clouds seem so much bigger here compared to Toronto. They look more heavenly here. 

    After that we got ice cream. Then we drove home and went to bed.
